Wii Jog £9.95 @ Zavvi [Wii Games]

Have you ever felt like something was missing whilst playing some of your favourite games like Resident Evil 5? I mean, having to manually aim with your Wii Remote is cool and more realistic than just controlling everything on a basic controller, but then again, what if the developers could immerse you even further into the experience? What if the game actually made you physically run the same distances as your on screen character?

I mean nothing could be better than getting home after a long exhausting day and, rather than lying back to unwind in your favourite armchair as you massacre hordes of the undead, standing in the middle of your living room and jogging on the spot. So, if combining exercise with your favourite Wii games sounds like a great way to shed a few pounds (or if you’re just an agoraphobic fitness freak), the Wii Jog is now going for just £9.95 on Zavvi. This is the cheapest deal currently available by almost £7.

The Wii Jog is basically like one of those pedometer devices which add up all the hundreds of steps you’ve taken all day long to and from the kitchen, or up and down the stairs, and tricks you into thinking you’ve actually done some real exercise. Similarly, the Wii Jog clips onto your belt but rather than counting your steps, it actually translates your movements so they directly apply to your one screen character. So, if Leon is about to be decapitated by some psychotic Spanish peasant, don’t just stand there…run Forest run!
